The altercations between the Congress and Bedi had erupted after the swearing-in of 3 persons nominated by the Centre as members of the Puducherry Legislative Assembly on July 4. The 3 MLAs are V Saminathan (president of Puducherry unit of Bharatiya Janata Party), K G Shankar (its treasurer) and S Selvaganapathy (an educationist and member of the BJP in Puducherry). The Congress in Puducherry had been opposing the induction.

Following the induction, a protest was upheld by Puducherry Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) chief and PWD Minister A Namassivayam, party MLAs and functionaries also participated in the demonstration taking place at Thavalakuppam village. Talking to reporters, RKR Anandaraman said that the protest was done to urge the Centre to call back Kiran Bedi for functioning undemocratically.

Lieutenant Governor of Puducherry, Kiran Bedi was also criticised for taking a negative stand on all the welfare schemes by the territorial government.
